Cornwall Online Parish Clerks. This is an informal group of Genealogists who voluntarily assist others by doing look ups of U.K. records we have collected over the years. They call themselves "online parish clerks" because the major resources they use are the (ecclesiastical) parish records of births, deaths and marriages. The group concentrates on Cornwall.
